Teacher to Tech CEO: 'Too Much AND Not Enough' Katie Hutchinson Built KHIT

What happens when a classroom teacher walks away from a director's seat after being told she's "too much and not enough" — and decides to build something on her own terms instead? In Episode 5 of Plunge Into Prosperity, host Brandi Kolosky sits down with Katie Hutchinson, Founder & CEO of KHIT Consulting — a WBENC-certified, women-owned IT consulting firm based in Charlestown, Indiana, serving clients across the country from Arizona to New York. Katie shares the slow "aha" that pushed her out of corporate, the philosophy that makes her firm different (hint: she'll call them "cookie crumbs" if that's what you call them), and why prosperity, for her, is no longer a number — it's the freedom to meet people where they are and help them grow. In this conversation, you'll hear: ✦ How Katie's first career as a classroom teacher rewired her definition of prosperity ✦ The exact phrase from a boss that became the turning point of her career ✦ Why KHIT learns the client's vocabulary before pushing any vendor language ✦ How she built a remote-first consulting firm before "remote-first" was a buzzword ✦ The industries KHIT serves beyond healthcare IT (manufacturing, construction, spa salons, home services & more) ✦ The truth about WBENC certification and what it actually unlocks ✦ Why she runs for school board, leads the League of Women Voters of Southern Indiana, and considers civic stewardship part of prosperity ✦ The two questions every business owner should ask themselves before calling KHIT ✦ Books that shaped her leadership — and what her corgi Daisy taught her about patience Whether you're a woman entrepreneur, a healthcare leader buried under documentation, a small business owner sizing up your tech stack, or someone quietly wondering if it's time to bet on yourself — this episode is your permission slip. 🔗 Connect with Katie: Website: khitconsulting.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katie-hutchinson-4906a5b5/
